Eddy,

That is really sharp! The orange is so bright & crisp! This is going to be a super build.

Small suggestion, next time you build a trailer, spray the inside primmer gray. This will stop the light from illuminating the trailer & give it a more realistic look.

A classic "bedbugger" rig from the 1970's, looks great! Good work on the 3 piece cab, those seams can be very difficult. Colours look right on as well.

Thanks for the reply's.

I shall paint the trailers inside next time Richard, thanks for the sugesstion

I's been a while since i got any progress with modeling, but I got some progress pics from the last few weeks on this one.





The engine got some oil stain and an broken oil-plug ;D





The PE-set is really detailed. It's only unpainted. But I will see what i can do about it.



The trailer is almost ready.

The inside interior is now for the 90% finished.







The dashboard panels had to be brown thats my mistake. (check your referents first )

Next days I think the trailer will be finished.

Eddy,
You have made some good progress. The weathering of the engine looks good.
A tip for the next time you do stripes or a multicolor paint job. Tape it off and make sure the tape is well down around the raised surfaces . Then spray a light coat of flat clear over the tape. This will seal the edges and you should be able to reduce or eliminate bleeding under the tape li e.


be Well

Fantastic job on the engine & interior. Very well detailed.

[boxer64]

Thanks Jim,

Here some progress from a few days work on this project









The chassis is now almost ready. I only get some trouble with the radiator cross-member. This is an pe piece an I think it's get some trouble later on with the fitting of the cabine.



Some extra pe details on the upper dashboard. It's still got some paint required.



Here some pe pieces to give te mudflap some extra detail. The damage from the Zapp glue needs to be paint over again.

Next few days I give it a try to make the inner and outer cabin together

Greets,
Eddy

Here's the update I promised in another thread

I hope to finish this rig in a few weeks. First I did some extra detail from the pe-set.





Just a few scratches on the catwalk to make it more real. Still has to be painted.





This is a dryfit to look how it all gonna be straight with the cabin to get a place on the chassis.





Small detail for the mirrors. The mirrors gonna be scratch build.



Exhaust pipes are painted in high gloss white instead of high gloss black for a more shiny look. Just finished it today with a spray of Alclad chrome. (shields are a little bit misplaced to the exhausts. )









My personal problem Can't get a straight sprayjob with glosspaint.





Painted a new color on the roof. I thought this is how the really are.

Well thats the progress so far. Finish-line is insight.

Wow! Eddy lots os progress.Everything is looking good.
I am going to have to get a couple of those PE kits. Are the mirror mounts part of the PE detail kit?

Be Well
